Content of the statement
“On behalf of President [Vladimir] Putin and on behalf of the people of the Russian Federation, we would like to thank First Lady Melania Trump for her outstanding humanitarian role in resolving the situation in Alyoshki,” Dmitriev said. The meeting was devoted to discussing the humanitarian operation, for which the parties agreed on a temporary ceasefire: the mission was aimed at delivering aid to the population and organizing the safe evacuation of residents.
How the operation went
Earlier, the same outlet reported, citing Yana Lantratova, that the humanitarian operation took place without any violations of the ceasefire regime. The silence regime was in effect from October 27 to November 1 and made it possible to deliver food, medicines and essential items to residents; aid was also received by neighboring settlements. For those wishing to leave Alyoshki, an evacuation was organized with transport and medical escort. Thus, the meeting at the White House summed up an already completed operation rather than announcing new steps — sources do not report any further agreements.
